When you successfully complete a dance, an invisible audience will applaud you and cheer you if you get a new high score. Conversely, when you fumble a move, a little bloop will play. Control and Gameplay Upon starting up the game, you are prompted to pick a name and input a birthday.
The events can easily make up for any low starting affection levels as long as you select the right dialogue choices. Some take it better than others, naturally. The controls outside of the dancing sequences are entirely menu based. To go from one location to another, just pick the place you want to visit on the map. A not-so-random and obvious trivia tidbit: all the locations are named after dances. Conversation is even more straightforward: just press A to scroll through the dialogue and highlight the one you want when a choice comes up.
Before you start dancing, you select an accessory, you change outfits in a Sailor Moon-esque transformation sequence, and away you go. When dancing, the top screen shows the two of you dancing, with miniature portraits on top and a heart meter in the middle of said portraits that fills up as you successfully complete each move.
The better you do, the closer the portraits move and the happier they look. The bottom screen is where the action takes place. The upside is that your hand gets a break. However, it also disrupts the flow, especially if you were on a roll with landing the moves. You earn points based on how many Perfects, OKs, and Bads you earn.
Obviously, you earn more points for Perfects and lose points for Bads. As you get more practice, you earn stars.
Five stars nets you a level up, which boosts your Technique, Artistry, and sometimes Stamina. And yes, the princes do have their own Technique and Artistry stats and their own level. Stamina, however, affects how long you can practice. I was even able to switch to 3 different partners in one file — oh yeah, I totally got my game on though OK, fine, I admit I did feel kind of bad. In addition, the music tracks you unlock in story mode alternate depending on how many times you beat the game.
An odd amount of times nets you the pink set, while an even amount gets you the green set. Unlocking everything also involves going through Ballroom mode. And of course, you can always shoot for a higher score for each song. I do wish there was a way to skip dialogue, as it does get a bit tedious having to read through the same text over and over.
You can really go through the whole game with the volume muted if you so desired, as all you would need to do is just trace the lines well and keep up with the purple circle. The pacing of the lines does generally keep in line with the tempo of the song, so that added a bit of realism to the gameplay — well, as much as there can be in a game involving tracing lines to simulate dancing.
In fact, after some practice I was eventually able to focus more on the top screen and still do well, even on the harder songs.
You can always select the song you wan to dance to, even during the contests and the final ball you spend the whole time preparing for, which means you could just stick to the easy songs if you want to. The Technique and Artistry stats also impact nothing, which makes me wonder why they were even included, unless they were intended to be just for show. The only reason to bother practicing and levelling up is to increase your Stamina and unlock songs.
While the songs do not carry over if you start a new game in the Story mode, they do remain unlocked in Ballroom Mode. Browse More Questions. Keep me logged in on this device.

User Info: Crystalxstar Crystalxstar 12 years ago 1 So um I had Luciano as my partner But uhh I also picked the right choices for Klaus, so he stalked me to my room on Emerald Reunion one day and thought I was the girl he saw when he was little And then it automatically went to the practice hall, and Luciano was there and he was like ok let's dance but then I was like sorry I'm with Klaus now Omg I feel so bad for Luciano!
User Info: un3xpectedfate un3xpectedfate 12 years ago 3 I did that, but chose the other option so nothing like that happened. Klaus help!? Side Quest. But as mentioned, he's one of the best.
